CVE-2026-8161

HIGH CVSS: 7.5 Published: 2026-05-12 Modified: 2026-06-17

Description

[email protected] and lower versions are vulnerable to denial of service via uncaught exception. By sending a multipart/form-data request with a field name that collides with an inherited Object.prototype property such as __proto__, constructor, or toString, the parser invokes .push() on the inherited prototype value rather than an array, throwing a TypeError that propagates as an uncaught exception and crashes the process. Impact: any service accepting multipart uploads via multiparty is affected. Workarounds: none. Upgrade to [email protected] or higher.

Affected Platforms

Pillarjs Multiparty

Weakness Type

CWE-248, CWE-1321
